FS: IT :: QT: ?

(a) PR

(b) TU

(c) ST

(d) TQ

Ans.:-b.

HI : 17:: PQ : ?

(a) 37

(b) 24

(c) 30

(d) 33

Ans.:-d.

Explanation:- In alphabet series, H stands at 8th position and I at 9th position. The addition of these numbers is 17. Similarly, P stands at 16th and Q at 17th position. The addition of these numbers is 33.

Question 4 Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.

4: 1024 :: 7 : ?

(a) 343

(b) 2401

(c) 16807

(d) 196

Ans.:-b.

Explanation:- (4)4=1024; similarly, (7)4=2401.

Question 5 Select the odd word/letters/number/number pair from the given alternatives.

Question 10 A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.

CD, FA, IX, LU, ?

(a) TU

(b) RS

(c) OP

(d) OR

Ans.:-d.

Explanation:- Series follows (+2) (-2) rule. Hence, next term will be OR.

Question 11 A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.

RT, ? , ZB , DF

(a) WX

(b) VX

(c) VY

(d) UV

Ans.:-b.

Explanation:- The given series follows (+3)(+3) rule. Hence, the missing term will be VX.

Question 12 A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.

0, 4, 18, 48, 100, 180, ?

(a) 294

(b) 211

(c) 186

(d) 222

Ans.:-a.

Explanation:-

The series is in the following format- (1*0), (2*2), (3*6), (4* 12), (5*20), (6* 30);

First number in the series is increased by 1 and second number is increasing in the multiple of 2.

Hence, the missing number will be [(6+1) * (30 +12)]=294.

Question 13 In the following question, two statements are given each followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements.

Statements:

(I) All young girls are modern.

(II) No modern men are superstitious.

Conclusion:

(I) No girls are superstitious.

(II) No young men are superstitious.

(a) Conclusion I follows

(b) Conclusion II follows

(c) Neither I nor II follows

(d) Both I and II follows

Ans.:-c.

Explanation:- The following diagram states that both given conclusions do not stand true.

Question 14 If the age of Rahul is 5 years more than his friend Ajay's age and the age of Rahul's wife is 6 years less than Rahul, and Ajay's wife is 1 year older than Rahul's wife, then which of the following statements is true?

(a) Rahul's age and Ajay's wife's age is same.

(b) Ajay's wife's age and Ajay's age is same.

(c) Rahul and Ajay are of the same age.

(d) Rahul and Ajay's age difference is 3 years.

Ans.:-b.

Explanation:- Rahul = Ajay +5; -----(i)

Rahul’s wife = Rahul -6; ---------(ii)

Ajay’s wife = Rahul’s wife +1; --------(iii)

From eq.(i) and eq.(ii),

Rahul’s wife = Ajay -1;

Put this value in eq.(iii),

Ajay’s wife = Ajay;

Question 15 Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.

i. Forbes

ii. Forest

iii. Forensic

iv. Formation

(a) iii, ii, iv, i

(b) iv, iii, ii, i

(c) i, ii, iii, iv

(d) i, iii, ii, iv

Ans.:-d.

Explanation:- As per the English dictionary, the sequence will be like this-

Forbes > Forensic > Forest > Formation.

Question 16 In a certain code language, "STATION" is written as "5313462" and "RED" is written as "789". How is "TRAIN" written in that code language?

(a) 73241

(b) 37421

(c) 37142

(d) 37412

Ans.:-c.

Explanation:- In the given code, Numbers are assigned to the respective alphabets;

S T A T I O N ---> 5 3 1 5 4 6 2;

R E D --> 7 8 9 ;

Hence, T R A I N ----->3 7 1 4 2.

Question 17 In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.

Question 19 In the following question, which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?

a_d_bd_ab_dd

(a) badd

(b) ddba

(c) bcda

(d) dbac

Ans.:- a.

Explanation:- in the above given series, ‘d’ is preceded by ‘b’ , ‘a’ is followed by ‘b’, and ‘b’ is preceded by ‘a’.

Question 20 Mohan is chasing a bike which is moving in the southwest direction. In which direction is Mohan moving?

(a) North

(b) East

(c) North-east

(d) South-west

Ans.:-d.

Explanation:- It is obvious, if mohan is chasing a person heading to south-west direction, then he will be in the same direction.

Question 21 A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as shown in the given two matrices. The columns and rows of Matrix-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix-II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, for example, ‘K’ can be represented by 22, 04, etc., and 'P’ can be represented by 77, 98, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word 'STRAIN’.

(d) 02, 65, 97, 34, 79, 44

Ans.:-a.

Explanation:- We have to determine the code for STRAIN.

S = 01, 12, 32;

T =66, 67, 68, 88;

R =11, 23, 34, 43;

A = 55, 79, 76, 87, 99;

I =13, 21, 30;

N = 56, 78, 89;

Compare all the options with these data.
